I think there's a lot of people who want/ed to be somewhere, somewhen, or something else. It's the whole basis of self-inserts in fanfiction, for starters; in a way, it's probably the basis for all the fantasy ever written.

I personally don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to be something greater than this world will allow you to be, provided you don't go like me and live only in the worlds that don't exist.

I also think that kind of dreaming is actually a LOT more common than you think; it's really just the same thing as dreaming of being discovered as the next supermodel, or winning the lottery, or getting that promotion to the job you've always wanted, or finding the perfect guy. It's really just a matter of scale. Some of us like to dream big. =D

Then again, I could be talking total bollocks. After all, this is just an opinion.

(Me, I still want to be a Sailor Scout or a Digidestined. Possibly a Digidestined Sailor Scout. How sad is that at 23? XD)

Also, that is a stupidly long opinion. I apologise, I'm in a curiously talkative mood today.

11 OP

[(Anonymous)]

Nothing wrong with long! I'm sucky at short myself.

In theory I know that plenty, plenty, plenty of people have dreams in at least a similar vein, but when I want it so bad that realizing it'll never be actually hurts... I don't know if I need to take a step back then, or just accept it and move on. I do the second pretty much, but every time I reread one of the books (and I usually read the entire series at least twice a year), it hits me again. And again and again and again. And actually "confessing" it to anyone non-anonymously feels... like a betrayel of the dream, kind of.

I don't know if that makes any sense, but that's what it feels like.

(Hah, I'd be Pluto XD She just rocked. Or Mercury.)

No, that makes perfect sense. Don't worry about that.

Of course it hurts. Any long-cherished dream that you can't achieve hurts. Nothing odd about that at all. The secret lies in keeping your dream anyway, but getting on with making your own life. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at that bit myself, so I can't be terribly helpful there.

As for betrayals, western mythos is full of wishes you can't tell people because they won't come true. Birthday cake candles, shooting stars, things like that.

Look after yourself, anon, and keep dreaming anyway. =)

(Cats are allowed to be wizards too, right? Maybe you could look into helping out a feline wizard and giving one a home. =) )
